Ultima Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Oof... µTorrent + Wine might possibly be a bit heavy for a system like that, IMHO =o I can't really say what the resource requirements are, but with a system like that, a heavy compatibility layer like Wine along with just BitTorrent in general might make your system cry.It wouldn't hurt to try, I guess, but I think you're better off using a different system for something like that.

deathnoise Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 1. Athlon XP 24002. 1GB3. Utorrent 1.64. Not linux.. Unix. FreeBSD 6.15. Wine 0.9.24Utorrent takes 0.05% of cpu under stress.. Normally 0.00%. 20 MB of memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacqy Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I don't think wine is really THAT heavy. Sure the startup may be slow, but it takes little resources after that. From what I see, the wine server only takes up about 1.6MB memory when running uTorrent. Here's my system:Athlon 64 3000512MB ramuTorrent 1.6.1 betaKubuntu 6.10Wine 0.9.24uTorrent takes up 20MB of memory, and 0? CPU. It's really nice.

garybrlow Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 It definitely runs on wine but still has the icon/minimize/system tray problem and the column entries flashing on update. Don't turn on the minimize on system tray or close to system tray feature, it will still produce an blank open minimised window with nothing on it. To minimize to system tray just do the above and just click on the utorrent system tray icon once to minimize to tray and click again to maximize. If anybody has a solution for this I all ears. Other than that it runs fine.

Its still in its early stages but already quite functional. The creators are regulars of the Ubuntuforums community and decided to create it for lack of lightwieght bittorent application with gui for linux especially ubuntu.

kokobaroko Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 can you ppl stop listing hardware configs? Its useless, uTorrent under wine runs fine on 120MHz processor eating 10MB of ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Buzzard Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Looks to be working on slack 11 with wine 0.9.31, aside from DHT which occasionally flakes out and requires a restart of uT to get back happy and the already mentioned minor issues.

Ace12GA Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 FC6, latest version. Athlon 64 3800+, 1GB ram, runs perfect so far. Actually, I am very pleased, its working better than the native azureus I usually use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Buzzard Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 That'd be because even with the small wine overhead it's nowhere near java's level of bloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokobaroko Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 "Native Azureus", nice joke ))btw Firon I saw some post about dht udp issues, is this related to this (search down to my messages about utorent):http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5774maybe wine is ok in this regard, but utorrent is making trouble + wine only magnifies them?

Ultima Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5774#c24 <-- I saw this same bug while using µTorrent under Wine for a month or two. It occurred even though I waited several minutes between exiting and starting µTorrent, which doesn't normally happen under Windows. I call Wine bug on it all, and yes, probably µTorrent magnifying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 µT's DHT is pretty stressful, so it just looks like it's exacerbating a Wine bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meph Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I love µtorrent also I love gentoo and ubuntu GNU/Linux and I hate wine. Guys please release µtorrent under GPL licence. Maybe someone would like to port it as a gtk/qt client. You only end up wining more people pleased with your client. //lateryes, and the 1.7beta versions works well on wine, yet.Alexandru Plugaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
